Any project that contains something called a “flux modulator” instantly commands our attention. And while we’re pretty sure that [Retsetman] didn’t invent it after hitting his head on the toilet, this ...

Wind turbines last longer than ever thanks to continuous engineering improvements. Gearboxes in wind turbines, more than those in any other application, tend to fail prematurely. In fact, at some wind ...

The Power Transmission and Gearing (PTG) Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Design Engineering Division invites you to participate in the ASME 2024 Power Transmission ...

Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...

Selecting a gearbox can be quite difficult. Customers have a variety of gearboxes to choose from that are capable of fulfilling diverse requirements. A wrong decision could result in the purchase of a ...

In one little corner of YouTube is a small but vibrant community sharing videos about gearboxes of their own design, particularly those with very high ratios or other quirky features. Adherents of the ...

What if the future of precision mechanics didn’t rely on massive manufacturing plants or multimillion-dollar R&D budgets, but instead emerged from a 3D printer on a hobbyist’s workbench? That’s ...

A coal fired power plant operating in the Western United States was experiencing short gearbox life in its coal pulverizing operation. An annual gearbox inspection and oil analysis results indicated ...
